Hi Stefan,

We have the same tar executed in Ant 1.8.2 and Ant1.10.9 build.
We are seeing the difference of PaxHeader folder missing in latest Ant build.
Hence, thought to discuss about the change.

Additionally, In release not 1.9.4 to 1.9.5 there is some description about 
PaxHeader but no bug id ismentioned.
Hence, thought to understand the behaviour change in the build.

Regards,
Abirami.S

The tool you used to create the tar archive stored "something". Some tar tools 
create PAX headers even if they are technically not required.

That you've seen PaxHeaders folders in 1.8.2 is an artifact to Ant not 
understanding PAX Headers. Now it does and it knows these are no real files.

You still get the contents the creating archiver has put into the tar - you no 
longer get additional files that have never been part of the tar in the first 
place.
